Is it permissible to marry a married teacher who is seeking a divorce from her husband in order to marry you?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to have a relationship with a married woman, because that is forbidden and corrupts her against her husband. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "He is not of us who incites a woman against her husband." It is obligatory to cut off the relationship with her completely, and she must repent and return to her husband. It is not permissible for her to seek a divorce without a valid reason, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Any woman who asks her husband for a divorce without any harm (afflicting her), the scent of Paradise will be forbidden to her."
